Doesn't really get this cold in the summer
Doesn't really get this dark in the day
Boy they really turn their backs when you talking
When they lay somebody's else's head where you lay
Know that I ain't easy to be hard
I find it even harder to be easy
You know sometimes I close my eyes and I wonder
If I ever left how much you'd miss me
Yo somebody told me blood is thicker than water
If a man can say that he can recognize his own daughter
And if hell is below would you pay the price to go
Then I can make it to heaven for sure

This is a cold world, (what)
Cold world, ohhh
We make it this way, but we don't like it this way
This is a cold world, (what)
Cold world, ohhh
We make it this way, but we don't like it this way

Cats don't know what they say what they talking
So I just let a n***a say what he feel
f**ing with the kid they gonn end up in the coffin
Cause I'mma say what I gotta say with the steel
n***as hating cause I got a job
I know it's they job to be hatin
I'm a dog so I don't f** with cats
If they gon' have me living in this state pen
It's about time I react
Look what you all did to this rap sh**
Know a n***a is wrong, come on with the cat sh**
Wack sh**, get n***as torn down slap quick
Bam, bam, bam go down that quick
Acting like the truth is gone
And I'm sayin' got mill with the ruthless one
It's 2 piece, if your f*ggot a** 2 persona
I go hard, no dog don't do it, too late it's done
Hold up, I'mma show you why a dog is the illest, k**est
You might not catch it, but you feel it
The realest n***a to ever do it, the realest n***a to ever go through it
And y'all gon' bring me back to it
Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
Middle name is crime, came from crime
You thought I'mma change in time, n***as don't know me
Let your man hold something
You ain't gotta get show me
[Hook]
This is a cold world
Cold world
We make it this way, but we don't like it this way
This is a cold world
Cold world
We make it this way, but we don't like it this way
The tunnel looks bright up from behind but you gotta keep moving
Moving,moving because if life stops spinning in the right direction
You lose it, lose it, lose it ,lose it
See in the night, I pray to keep me breathing
To see another day to give them something to believe in
Cause I know it won't always be this way
When you tryin' hard to make a change
